Antec P180B Black $111.99 AR ($20) Free Ship

It is revised from the "white" version where it addresses several key flaws.
However people still complain about the cheap plastic clips. I'd hit up Newegg reviews or google. 🙂

Man i'm so tempted to get this case just, because of what you get for the price!
 
This is a fantastic case very cool and very silent. I bought it from cheifvaule for $109 last week.

The only thing that was kind of a pain was mounting the power supply in the cage.

The black didn't come with the vga/pci vent cooler, but the silver my brother bought from amazon came with it...

The black comes with clips to let you mount a 120mm fan in the hard drive cage directly in front of the vga/pci slots. I believe this is a better solution than the vent cooler that comes with the silver. My 7900GT runs nice and cool with a passive heatsink with that fan there.
 
Thanks. I just bit. Since my main rig is undergoing an upgrade I decided to give it a new home as well. I already have the first revision silver version. I used the vga duct that came with it for a couple of months and decided to ditch it long before Antec removed it. The door did become slightly warped, but I don't open it often as it is my file server. I did use the newer revision in a build for a client and was happy with the changes. Great case! I love how all the noise isolation parts come with it. Well thought out and quiet. I did add a 4th fan to the case (in front for intake into the mobo compartment). It comes with two washable screens for the intake. Make sure you keep those clean and you should have no probs. 🙂
 
Doh! I knew I should have waited for a hot deal on this case before I went and bought it. Great case though!
 
Ahh, the P180B is still killed at newegg because of the shipping! If it was free shipping, I'd jump on it real fast (I'm talking about the one at newegg). Normally, I don't really like rebates because I never got my eVGA rebate back since Valentine's day.
 
Man, I waited for 3 months for deals on building my computer and then when I was forced to build my computer due to time constraints last week, I missed out on all the good deals. Fry's had my power supply (NEO HE 550) for almost $20 cheaper after I had already ordered it online, and now ZZF is selling my case for $25 cheaper than I got it.

It is a sweet case though. Running the power supply cords is a little tricky, but worth it in the end. There is a great review and mod ideas at silentpcreview.com. It is pretty quiet, the main sound I hear is my Zalman 9500, I guess I should looked at silentpc better and got a Scythe Ninja. I will probably turn the fan down and see how it sounds then.
 
ZZF's a good company. I've done business with them since they were named Googlegear. I prefer them to Newegg since I am charged sales tax and shipping with Newegg - ZZF charges me no sales tax and provides free shipping. For those instances when I need something in 2 days, ZZF charges only $2 for lighter items (not computer cases, obviously, but hard drives are light enough).
 
Will this case accomodate a good internal watercooling kit? I want to get this case but I'm upgrading to watercooling with a 2x 120mm Black Ice Pro radiator, Swiftech pump, and Swiftech Storm. I would like to mount all the watercooling components inside the case.

Check the dimensions. It's about large enough to accommodate a Volkswagon Beetle.
